[Sam] February 27, 2018 16:00

P2250368ELS'.jpgP2250395RS''G.jpg On February 26, the Tokyo Marathon 2018, the largest marathon event in Asia, in which approximately 36,000 top runners and citizen runners from Japan and overseas run at tourist attractions in the city center, was held.

The race takes place at 42.195 km from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office to Tokyo Station and Gyoyuki Street, and major roads such as Chuo-dori become courses in the city, and runners run through the city of Nihonbashi.

About 30 minutes after the start, when the leading runners pass under the nameplate of Nihonbashi, one of the shooting points, on the highway, a loud cheer rises.

Approximately 11,000 volunteers were active in the Tokyo Marathon on this day, and along the course, there were various performances such as music performances, dances, and folk performing arts, and events to support runners were held.
